Kit Kat Gets a New Car

I got a text from the car dealership today. Kit Kat's car had made it from North Carolina to our local store. This was two weeks earlier than predicted. So at lunch, Kit Kat and I swung by the dealership. They let us take the car for a test drive by ourselves.

Kit Kat boosted the A/C. She hit the gas, and the car was responsive. We stayed on the main strip, as local highways were all jammed with traffic. Kit Kat drove all the way through our town and made a U-turn at Arbys.

The car appeared to have only 343 miles. It was a 2022 model. So it was essentially a new car. Kit Kat tested the heater too. Everything seemed in order. I asked the sales guy what the monthly payment would be for a 5 year loan if we put half down. He said it would be around $250. Woot.

 Kit Kat electronically signed a lot of papers. Then we went into the "signing room" to physically sign some more papers. Then our sales guy led us out to the garage where the car had a large yellow bow on it. This was for photo ops only. I thought we would take pictures of just the car. Kit Kat wanted to be in the pictures.

We drove home, and at night, Kit Kat took Momoko for a test drive to Starbucks. The Apple Carplay worked well. We tested out the speakers with Kit Kat's music. I was able to sit in the back seat for a short drive. Kit Kat calls this her "starter car". I let her take the EZ pass from the car I just sold.
